If I do try the 2021 download and the 15 free logins in the trial period, will the work I do translate back down to the 2020 version if that starts working again since I cant use the 2021 version for long?

Dont really want to do the trial if it locks me in to the newer version that I cannot get.

I have a few rental properties and I have used QB for 15+years.  I also have used Quicken for probably longer for my personal bank accounts.  I had 6 rentals (now only 4) and QB allowed me to allocate costs to the individual property which made tax prep simple.  Quicken cant really do that so I used QB happily over this time bc although expensive (think it used to be about $500)  I could buy the software and use it for 4-5 years.  Thats not a bad deal for someone who doesnt run a big business w/ QB.  But $1k/year isnt doable for a business I probably make less than $20K/year.  I dont use any of the online downloads, bill pay, etc.  Just enter my charges manually like I have done forever.  My bank charged $15/mo to hookup to QB years ago and again wasnt worth it to me bc I have probably 10 xctns/mo.  

Earlier in the thread I saw some alternatives to QB, may have to try those if this doesnt get resolved to get this years tax reporting done and probably start fresh in 2024.
